Exactly 71 people are standing in a single queue outside a store on black Friday. If these 71 people also include Daniel and Maria, then how many people are standing in front of Maria in the queue?
(1) When counted from the back of the queue, Daniel is at 19th position and there are exactly 7 people between Daniel and Maria.
(2) The number of people in front of Maria in the queue are 18 more than the number of people behind Maria in the queue.
Statement 1: Provides Daniel's position but we do not know whether Maria is in front or behind Daniel. In wither case number of people standing in front of Maria will be different. Hence
InsufficientStatement 2: if number of people behind Maria is \(x-18\), then number of people in front of Maria will be \(x\)
so we have \(x+x-18=70 => x=44\).
